Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(age at time of event): patient's exact age is unknown; however it was reported that the patient was over age of 18.The complainant was unable to report the lot number, therefore the manufacture date and expiration date are unknown.(device codes): the problem code 1069 captures the reportable event of cutting wire broken.Visual examination of the returned device revealed that the cutting wire was broken, bent and blackened.Additionally, a section of the cutting wire was missing and not returned.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of cutting wire broke.It is most likely that a peak of voltage could have caused the failures noted or if the device was not in contact with the tissue when it was energized.Therefore, the most probable cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure since it is the most likely that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on event.A review of the device history record (dhr) could not be performed since the lot number was not provided in the reported complaint.
